Norzagarai Las Franjas 2020
Norzagarai Vinos Autenticos is Santiago's one-man project. Originally Basque, but in Rioja Alavesa he found the vineyards from which he wants to make wine. Keywords: low intervention wine, single Vineyard, elegance.
Made from grapes from a 40-year-old vineyard with tempranillo grapes. The fruit is grown completely organically and processed naturally. No junk in your glass with this Spanish rascal.
The goal was to let the terroir speak as well as to bring out the basic characteristics of the grape. In the nose we find delicious red fruit complemented by a light vanilla & smoky touch from the wood aging. Full in the mouth, with the same intense fruit impressions. Ripe, medium-powerful tannins. In short, a top wine for the enthusiast.
